3 Primary Energy Supply in Japan In the past 4 years, Japan has gradually created a diversified energy portfolio in order to strengthen its energy security. Fossil fuels account for more than 8% of primary energy supply in Japan, playing an important role.

10 LNG and Natural Gas Prices Japan s LNG import price has been higher than the natural gas prices in Europe and the U.S. In particular, the natural gas price in the U.S. remains at a low level due to the production increase of shale gas. The LNG spot price has seen a downtrend since 214, and decreased to less than $5/MMBtu in March and April 216. One of the reasons for this decline may be looser demand/ supply conditions due to the start of production at new LNG projects.

16 Actions for Recently, natural gas hub development has been discussed in Asia. The discussions have centered on Japan, the largest LNG importer, and Singapore, a commodity trading hub. Actions for natural gas hub development in Asia Singapore In May 213, SLNG received its first commercial cargo and commenced business operations In Jan 216, SGX launched futures and swaps linked to its index of spot LNG prices SLinG Japan At LNG Producer-Consumer Conference 212, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry brought up concept of LNG futures market From Nov 212 to Mar 213, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry held Conference for LNG futures In Sep 214, Japan OTC Exchange launched LNG Non-Deliverable Forward Market At Energy Ministerial Meeting in May 216, Japanese government released Strategy for LNG Market Development Goal: to give Japan status of an internationally recognized hub by the early 22s.

17 Conclusion Last year, the Japanese government released its Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook. In the target Energy Mix therein, natural gas and LNG remain positioned as strategically important sources for Japan. Global LNG demand is expected to grow from a medium- to long-term perspective, led by Asian countries demand growth. With various LNG trade flows and LNG transaction types expected to emerge, international collaboration is necessary to create a healthy LNG market in the future. Japan will cooperate with both LNG consumers in Asia and LNG producers worldwide, in order to deal with the potential structural changes in the LNG market. 16
